I wanted to love this company so much. The CEO is a great salesman, selling the idea for the tech, but no real product. There was a massive hiring push January 2026, only for there to be surprise layoffs and then a massive layoff May 2026. There is absolutely no communication between the C-Suite and employees on the ground. Even senior VPs were left out of the communication of the C-Suite. Members of the C-Suite (during all-hands) would encourage employees to voice concerns and speak up about issues or challenges, however, those individuals who did speak up found themselves without a job a few weeks later. Per public information, Red 6 just received more financial backing from yet another VC company. My opinion is that with the limited source of funding, and the recent massive layoffs in May, it makes one wonder just how long the company will be around. With the recent round of layoffs, it is rumored the expectation from the newly appointed President is that employees work longer hours to make up for lost people and time. Employees now wonder if Red 6 is getting ready to sell the company.
In terms of benefits, while the healthcare was covered for employees, it wasn’t for family members, which proved to be an expensive proposition. Additionally, Red 6 does not match any 401k contributions. This tidbit of information was kept from me during the interview process, even when questioned about it.
